But the trash can wasn't Apple skating to where the puck was going. Narrator: Steve Jobs always liked to quote Wayne Gretzky, saying he skates to where the puck is going to be, not where it is. John Ternus: It is the most configurable, most expandable, and by far the most powerful Mac we've ever made. It's easily upgradeable and expandable, and it's got a ton of power, checks off almost every box power users want in a high-end machine, and has a starting price of $6,000. Narrator: After bragging about innovating so hard on the trash can, the new Mac Pro is a return of the good ol' cheese-grater design.
Tim Cook: This is the new Mac Pro, and it's incredible! And for that, we're sorry to disappoint customers who wanted that." Six years after the release of the trash can, Apple finally debuted its new Mac Pro at WWDC 2019.

As Daring Fireball reported, Schiller told the group, "The current Mac Pro, as we've said a few times, was constrained thermally and it restricted our ability to upgrade it. Narrator: In 2017, company officials admitted in a meeting with a select number of journalists that they made a mistake in their design. And it didn't really take into account modern advancements where you had just one really big GPU that generated a ton of heat. It meant that you could only have one CPU and two GPUs. Heat needed to be evenly distributed around the whole sides of the computer for the thermal design to work. Schiller: The processor, graphics, memory storage are all built around a new, unified thermal core.ĭowley: The thermal design was really cool, but it just didn't have a lot of flexibility for adding more heat.
Not only did Apple not upgrade the trash can over the years, it also didn't think about the future thermal limitations in its design. If you bought the trash-can Mac Pro as recently as early 2019, you were pretty much buying a computer with the exact same specs as the 2013 model.
